Flying! Flying!
This is a nice little photo I took inside the plane. I left the plane wing on the shot, so you will realize that I am flying. There are not a lot of flying photos on line, and that is sad. The photo was taken while leaving Mexico. It is rare that there is a good view while flying on a plane. Most of the couple of times I have been in one, it has been really cloudy or at night. I am not a big fan of flying. I always get terrible motion sickness and the sounds of the...
WindSurfing with a Ship in the Background
This is another one of my windsurfing photos. Behind the fellow, you can see a tiny sailboat. I think it is a schooner or something like it. Both hobbies rely a lot on the wind. Lately, the weather has not been cooperating. It has been raining nonstop. This has been at least good for the plants. Florida officially is out of the drought. We can use water whichever which way we like. Then again, there is nothing fun about wasting water. It is not an environmental stand, rather just a money saving deal. People shouldn't waste. This reminds me of...
Winsurfing during a Rainy Day
This is something not too far out there. Recently, another poor fellow died because of a lightning storm. Also a house got struck by lightning. The state of Florida is the number one state for lightning storms and lightning related death. As such, people tend to be cautious whenever a storm passes by. It is easy to tell when a storm is going to have lightning. If the clouds are cumulous nimbus, then they have lightning. Just look for the bubbly, fat looking storm clouds. Most people do not bother to learn the difference. They also do not look at...
Windsurfing in Miami Beach
It has been quite a while since I have visited Miami Beach. Part of the issue is that the rains have finally come. It has been raining non stop for almost an entire month. Recently, a poor fellow died when struck by lightning. Florida has one of the highest lightning related death statistics. It is not as bad as the shark deaths. People do not take lightning storm seriously. Whenever one of those roll over, it is best not to be exposed. The roof always protects you from lightning strikes. Soon, I will be going on vacation and hopefully I...
Quintana Roo Mexico Beach at Sunset
It has been quite the couple of years since I visited Mexico. It is a good thing I took a lot of pictures. Peace there tends to be a bit of an illusion. However, there are times when it gets really bad. The Barcelo Hotel in Mexico is known by the locals as the US. They say that it is the least Mexican place in the entire country. So, if you want a genuine Mexican vacation, this is not the place to visit. Though frankly, risking one's life in genuine experiences is not worth it. Things gets worse in Mexico...
